	1298 Slot-Slash Panel
		This area of the mine has experienced considerable challenges due to the effect of high stress and subsequent increase in seismic activity during the mining cycle.
		Mining is commonly sequenced in a linear direction from mined-out areas of the 400 Ore body, although a pillar was created with early year introduction of the 4770 Ore pass from 5600-6400 levels.
		Creighton Mine engaged the services of INCO Mines Technology to determine if stresses can be effectively shed from the working area, allowing stress-free drilling of the remaining holes.

		Contract mining is a form of outsourcing whereby a project owner retains an outside contractor to conduct all or a portion of mine development and operations.
		Mine shaft sinking is one of the most critical and technically difficult aspects of underground mine development and construction.
		Novicourt Inc.’s Louvicourt Mine and Barrick Gold Corporation’s Meikle and Bousquet Mines located in north-western Quebec, are typical examples of major lateral mine development work obtained by Dynatec as a result of having performed mine shaft sinking at an earlier stage in the same project.

	AER - The AER Today
		Creighton Mine still produces ore, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, ensuring that this portion of the former AER will likely see continued use.
		Creighton Mine can be reached by taking the road north from Lively, a small town about about eight kilometres west of Copper Cliff.
		Beyond Creighton the abandoned right-of-way is used as a private access road by Inco to the Gertrude Mine site some three kilometre beyond Creighton and to the site of the former O'Donnell roast yards a little over five kilometres beyond that.

	Visit to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
		Perhaps 100 yards from the end, the mining activity stopped and the "wire screen" turned to special screening that was made with stainless-steel "wire", so that it would last for 30 years, even in the slightly corrosive mine environment.
		At the end of the tunnel, the mud and dirt flooring ended and we were standing on a concrete floor, and there were a couple of high-pressure water hoses to clean most of the dirt and dust off the boots.
		The neutrino detector consists of a ball of heavy water surrounded by a shell of regular water in which the detectors are arranged so as to cover almost the entire surface of the sphere.

	Consulting Engineering -- Deep Sphere
		Creighton has been in operation since the turn of the turn of the century and its identified reserves of nickel will last for decades yet.
		Water purification facilities (both regular and heavy water) are housed in a separate drift next to the cavity, while electronic data acquisition systems and the laboratory monitoring and alarm systems are housed in the short drift connecting the cavity to the rest of the laboratory.
		Since everything for the detector and tire laboratory had to fit into the mine hoist cage, the acrylic vessel had to be bonded together in situ from 130 main structural components up to 2 metres x 3 metres large, spherically thermoformed and numerically machined to 0.5 mm tolerances.

	Old Time Trains
		Ore from this mine was shipped east to Sudbury, thence over the CPR Soo branch 21 miles to the Mond smelter at Victoria mine.
		Creighton mine shipped an average of fifteen thousands tons of ore per month and the year ending June 30, 1905 showed net earnings of almost a thousand dollars a mile.
		Ore had been carried from the mine on an overhead tramway for several miles south to the company's smelter at Victoria Mine Station on the CPR.

	CERN Courier - The Sudbury Neutrino Observa - IOP Publishing - article
		Today the Sudbury basin is circled with the world's largest concentration of nickel mines and in one of them, scientists accompany the miners on their morning descent to the 6800 ft (2000 m) level.
		Early mining efforts stripped away trees to provide fuel for smelting the ore, with the result that in the 1960s the Sudbury basin resembled a moonscape.
		The Creighton mine in Sudbury - among the deepest in the world - was quickly identified as an ideal place for Chen's proposed experiment to be built and the SNO collaboration held its first meeting in 1984.

	HENRI RANGER - PROSPECTOR
		No staking was required, mining lands could be bought for one dollar an acre, and priority of application was what counted most.
		It was at first regarded a gold mine, and part of the property was worked as such, a small stamp mill having been erected to treat the ore. Wire gold was found freely distributed though the gossan and the upper portions of the deposit.
		The mine is owned and worked by the Canadian Copper Company, who treat the ore separately from their other mines.

	Hard rock mining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are a number of mining methods that are used to extract the mineral bearing rock (ore) from the uneconomic rock, also known as mullock or gangue.
		Using this method, mining is planned to extract rock from the stopes, and allow the wall rocks to cave in to the extracted stope after all the ore has been removed.
		Where large bulk ore bodies are to be mined at great depth, or where leaving pillars of ore is wasteful, the open stope can be filled with a cement and waste rock mixture, which solidifies and forms a solid fill.

	Nickel
		Mine development continued at Inco’s deep project at the Creighton mine with production from Phase 1 during the year; production in 2002 from the project is forecast to be 2300 t of nickel, increasing subsequently to 8200 t/y of nickel.
		At the Stobie mine, production started up from a low-grade area and is expected to reach 23 000 t/y of nickel during 2002 and to last until 2005.
		Exploration continued in PGM-rich areas of the North mine and the McCreedy East mine.

	Engineering Dimensions -- In-Depth Explorations of the Building Blocks of Matter
		The site, provided and serviced by Inco Limited on the 2073-metre level of the Creighton Mine near Sudbury, Ontario, and access to 1000 tonnes of heavy water from AECL stockpiles for Canada's CANDU power reactors (with the cooperation of Ontario Hydro) are unique resources for this $70-million facility, now close to completion.
		The underground location in the busy Creighton mine with its limited access, as well as stringent requirements for high-purity materials and water and cleanroom assembly of the detector, all posed additional challenges.
		Materials and equipment for the laboratory had to be transported on Inco-style mine cars, down the shaft in a two-level mine cage, then trammed a further 1.5 km around the active mining area to the SNO site.

	Old Time Trains
		The first mine was established October 1, 1884 by Thomas Murray although it was soon sold out to H. Vivian and Company, Swansea, Wales, which began mining and established a smelter in 1889.
		It was here that the first serious mining began and the first to ship ore. The region's first smelter was established nearby, beginning operation December 24, 1888.
		Incorporated in 1889, it owned the Worthington mine, which began in 1890, and the Blezard mine and smelter, at the end of the CPR Stobie spur, which began in 1889.

		At 2070 meters below ground the SNO cavity in INCO's Creighton mine is the largest in the world excavated at this depth.
		The SNO site is located in the "hanging wall" rock 200m from the mining zone to minimize interference from blasting or rock burst activity.
		The cavity design, incorporating large safety factors, was barrel shaped and is stabilized by some 800 "cable bolts", each cemented 30 feet into rock.
